Renegade Texan

KIDNAPPED!

It started with threatening phone calls. Then someone tampered with the brakes on her car. The evidence was beginning to add up. Someone was trying to hurt Tamara Bennington, heiress to a huge chain of department stores. Her friends and family agreed that Tamara needed to get out of San Antonio, out of Texas -- out of harm's way. But Tamara was a fighter. Instead of running away, she insisted on standing her ground and facing her adversary.

With nowhere else to turn, Tamara's uncle called in Rane Masters, a neighbor and family friend. Rane had experience dealing with the criminal element. His plan would guarantee Tamara's safety. But Tamara didn't take kindly to being kidnapped -- even when her captor was a tall, lean rancher. Despite the fact that her pulse raced whenever Rane was near, Tamara wanted her freedom. She didn't want to notice his sun-bronzed skin and rugged features. She didn't want to be affected by the sound of his sexy drawl. Why wouldn't he let her go?

The last thing Rane Masters needed was to fall in love with Tamara. He wished she wasn't so beautiful and alluring. He wished that she would begin to trust him But wishing wouldn't soften the determined look in Tamara's caramel-colored eyes. He would have to resist his increasing fascination with his lovely captive -- though in his heart he longed to hold her in his arms forever.
